Nick Coghlan added the comment:

For the case where POSIX is a distinct locale from the default C locale (rather 
than a simple alias), I'm leaning towards taking PEP 538 literally, and 
adjusting the affected test cases to assume that locale coercion *won't* happen 
for that case on Mac OS X.

I *think* we can check for the alias behaviourally by setting the "POSIX" 
locale and seeing if it reports itself back to us as "C", but if not, then I'll 
just add in a sys.platform check, and we can figure out a behavioural check 
later if the platform check turns out to cause problems.
